Phyllidiella rosans from Reunion Island
September 5, 2006
From: Hugues Flodrops
Dear Bill,
I thinks it's look like Phyllidiella zeylanica but the forms of Phyllidiella rosans are also similar. This photo looks like lower left photo of P. rosans in Marina Podduhetskaia's message [#8313]. Thanks for your precisions.
Locality: Passe de l'Hermitage, 18 metres, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 31 August 2006, Good weather. Length: 40 mm. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.
Best regards,
Hugues.

This is P. rosans. On the species Fact Sheet you will see a photo from Reunion Island almost identical in colour and shape. The ridges in P. zeylanica are often broken, and even in the unbroken ridges they are broken into rows of hight tubercles with spaces in between.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
